ajax problem

31 New Member
Hi

I have looked endlessly for a solution to my problem but I have found no solutions

I have a problem where I am using ajax to basically pull values of words out a text file stored on a server on a *DIFFERENT* domain, and I want to pull the words back into a drop down menu.

I was originally doing it by passing the words into the page from my server through the URL, but if the page has a lot of words which are matched in my processing, it causes the URL length to become too long and cause the server to crash.

But i as you can probably now guess I get the error where the XMLHTTPRequest cannot call of script off another domain.

On my external server there is a wiki where I can't tamper with any of the backend code, which means I am limited to only being able to place javascript on the pages. My server has apache running on it with PHP.

I have been told to try using some librarys such as ajaxextended, but this has dissapeared and no place to be found

Does anyone have any ideas or recommendations about this problem

Cheers

This is a cool idea, I have got it reading in a delimited text file into the IFRAME but I don't get how i can read the contents of the IFRAME into my page using javascript as there both coming from completely different domains.

I'm creating a simple AJAX library. It's an object that will return an array containing the response text or xml. I'm trying to find a way to assign the response as a property of the object, but from within an inline function. Within the AJAX object: this.xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest(); this.response = ''; //to contain the response text OR xml var that = this; //since we cannot reference this within the

I just noticed that prototype.js is one of the files in the Ajax.NET distribution - I'm pretty concerned about this.

Hello NG, I've been doing some AJAX for a few weeks now. The basics worked fine so far, but now I've got the following problem which I can't solve: With AJAX you typically update/replace only parts of your page. But in my application there are situation when I first notice on the server -- so AFTER sending an AJAX request -- that I have to update the complete page instead of only some parts. And what do I do now???

Hi, I have an image reference (IMG) in my page that changes depending on the value of a database field. Clicking the image triggers an Ajax call to change the database field (toggles the field value between 1 and 0). I've made it work so that the image source changes to reflect the new value once the Ajax call is complete. In other words, the image reflects the value of the database field in real-time. Kind of like a real-time checkbox. This...

Greetings! I was researching AJAX to provide a solution to displaying status messages while a long process executed. I found several examples online and was able to use their code to get a quick application working. However, when attempting to implement the solution, the AJAX calls weren't updating the screen like the examples were and seemed not to fire until after the long running process had completed. I found the only real...

Hi All, Ive been having a problem of late with one of my sites that uses PHP5 / Ajax. The problem is that periodically the ajax functions lock up and it gets stuck in the loading phase of the request. If i restart the apache server everything goes back to normal (i assume it severs the connection to the ajax called function). I think this is a problem with the javascript part as i have tried it using a straight post request and have...

Currently the AJAX call looks something like this: document.getElementById("My_Div").innerHTML=xmlHttp.responseText; The server...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
